The Adventures of Stanley, Hudson and Wendell

Last Friday night we had some wonderful spring weather here in D.C. I took the opportunity to go down to the monuments and take some pictures with Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley came to visit from St. Louis. He had a great time in D.C. Here is a picture of Flat Stanley and the Washington Monument.

Oh, and he had his hearing tested as well.

I took a copy of Hudson Taylor's biography to read on the metro. If that doesn't challenge me to be more dependent on the Lord, I don't know what will. If you haven't read it, you should. It's super short and he has an amazing life story.

After taking pictures I went over to a coffee shop in D.C. to here this guy. He was fantastic and he played with this girl, who is equally fantastic. When they played together they were fantastico! Yes, that is what you get when you ad fantastic + fantastic. Alright, I think it's getting to late for me to write much more that makes sense.

Happy St. Patrick's Day?

I'm not Irish, but I definitely enjoy a good Irish Car Bomb (credit to Neil Das for the diagram and explanation) and I'm a big fan of St. Patrick because he got rid of all the snakes in Ireland. Well, who knows if that's true, but I would like to believe it.

I found this interesting article from the BBC about the church and St. Patrick's day. I must confess I was just trying to find out more about how he got rid of the snakes. But the article was interesting. Happy St. Patrick's Day, whenever you decide to celebrate!

For Sometime After Seven

I saw this post on Renae's blog, and thought it was pretty cool. My band name is, A Hill in Korea. Here is the album cover:

Pretty Sweet. I think it's very fitting. If I ever did have a band we would play folksy-girl music. I would play the harmonica.

Note: This post is dedicated to those who spent many a night flipping through word of the day calendars and thinking out loud in order to come up with a name for a jam-night turned into a band. Look how easy it could have been!

New Year's Resolutions

1) Create a new banner for my blog, or employ the help of others to create a banner for me.

2) Watch all of the Jane Austen movies on PBS. This one may prove to be a little more challenging since we don't have a TV.

So they're not life changing, but they're more attainable than things like "keep up on all my reading for school". Oh, I also considered coming up with resolutions that rhyme with the year. Here are the ones I came up with:

- Never be late in 2008
- Graduate in 2008. Okay that's a stretch, any other suggestions? Any resolutions you'd like to share?
